I have an isobar 1B-6 that I probably purchased in the early to mid 90's. I think it was only rated for 3300 Joules and had only 6 outlets, but it was built like a tank with really thick metal. It was being use for my home entertainment center.
Recently, I ran out of plugs and also worry that the surge protection portion no longer works after a quarter century of service and replaced it with a unit with more sockets. I later notice that after I replaced it, it stop working altogether. May be it was hanging on until its replacement arrives . Let's salute it for its years of service.
I will be opening up to see if I can determine what happened. I am curious to see why the thing would work for 25 years or old and then died while unplugged.
